Quotes

Quark: Nobody could do this and survive.
Palindrome: Not nobody, but you, Quark. You got one of the finest crews in the fleet, don't you?
Quark: Well, they're good with garbage, but what can an emotional Transmute, a homemade robot, a Betty and her clone, and a plant do against a Gorgon's Doomsday ship? (edit)
Quark: I've just argued over the concept of love with a plant - and lost. (edit)
High Gorgon: People of Spartan, this is the High Gorgon. I command your unconditional surrender. You shall be treated with compassion, honor and patience. - You have twenty seconds before I blow you out of the galaxy. (edit)
High Gorgon: I suggest you take a closer look at my space ship.
Leader of the Spartans: A ship? We see no ship. All I see is a large marooned planet.
High Gorgon: That is my space ship!
Leader of the Spartans : (pause) Just give us a few minutes to move our things out of the palace. (edit)
Andy: Commander, this is no place for a coward. Please - take - me - home. (edit)
